Despite Google being a huge force in multiple international markets, there is one market that they have yet to break through, and that is China. Due to China’s strict regulations and censorship laws, Google pulled out from the country in 2010, although there were rumors from earlier this year suggesting that Google could be getting back in.
During a conference held in San Francisco, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai has finally addressed the rumors of an alleged censored search engine. Pichai had previously stated that they weren’t close to launching in China and that statement still holds true. However Pichai revealed that the company was indeed exploring the idea of a search engine that would comply with China’s regulations.
He claims that based on internal tests, they found that despite the censorship laws and regulations, 99% of queries could still be served. However it has been pointed out that due to the sheer number of internet users in China, 1% still translates into thousands of queries that will not be able to make it through.
According to Pichai, “We wanted to learn what it would look like if Google were in China, so that’s what we built internally. It’s very early, we don’t know whether we would or could do this in China but we felt like it was important for us to explore. I think it’s important for us given how important the market is and how many users there are.”
That being said, earlier reports have revealed that Google’s employees have protested the search engine internally, while some US lawmakers want to know more about Google’s plans for if/when they were to return to China.

Last month ZEISS, probably best known for their lenses, announced their first full-frame camera in the form of the ZX1. One of the unique points of the camera is how it will come with Adobe Lightroom CC integrated into the camera itself, meaning that photographers can snap photos and edit them all within the camera.
This is versus more traditional methods which involves transferring the photos out of the camera and onto a phone or computer, and then using the mobile or desktop version of the software. However this led to questions of whether or not ZX1 owners would need to subscribe to Adobe’s CC platform in order to use the software. The good news is that you won’t.
This is good news because not all users will need the rest of the features of Lightroom and so paying for a subscription to Adobe’s Creative Cloud platform doesn’t make sense. In fact many photographers have griped in the past about how expensive it is to use the software even if they are just hobbyists who don’t use it as often.
That being said, there is still no word regarding pricing or availability of the ZEISS ZX1. Last we heard it was set for a launch in early 2019, and given its specs and features, we don’t expect it to come cheap either.
